Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"Anyway, it's some reason that I can't understand. I understand, so are you planning to find out about your competitors this time and then decide whether to eliminate them?"

Weber felt his head hurt again. Looking at Roland in front of him, he began to mourn for the other participants in this Holy Grail War.

"This time is different from the last time. Because of the uncertainty of the new universe, many tributaries of this Holy Grail War are also chaotic in my eyes. I can look forward to the fun that will be brought when these chaos collide. "

"However, because I just heard a name that I was somewhat concerned about from your student, I just decided to confirm it."

Weber was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized who Roland was referring to.

"You mean Maris Billy? Does he have any qualities that deserve your attention?"

Weber is still very confident about his forensic vision.

Among the monarchs he has ever met, this person from the Astrology Department can be said to be the most talkative one. He is not as domineering as those who came from a noble family, nor is he as devilish as other magicians. The only thing that is worrying is that maybe He is only paranoid about his ideals, and his harm is completely out of proportion to his troubles and status. Even Weber can't be wary or disgusted with him.

"Normally, not really," Roland curled up the corners of his mouth and outlined a meaningful smile. "In the old world, there is no difference between him and other ordinary people, but some cards must be combined to show his true level."

In the new world, Roland can clearly feel the chaos of the timeline, because his own destiny is integrated into it. As a result, everything is possible in the world he is in, and the old characters may be affected by the changes in the world. With a new destiny, some characters who should not have been born may be born. These possibilities that were born because of him are also the fundamental reason why the world condones his actions.

And when the celestial monarch is going to participate in the Holy Grail War, even Roland cannot remain indifferent to the direction of the world it foreshadows.

"I want to meet him, please help me make arrangements."

"I always feel like you have some subtle misunderstanding about my status..."

Weber shook his head helplessly. Although he was one of the twelve monarchs of the Clock Tower, his treatment was very different from other monarchs. Although the office and other prestige projects were very luxurious, his daily life was very different. But it is quite ordinary, living in an old apartment and eating ordinary meals. Although he has an astronomical amount of savings in his card that is equivalent to other monarchs, he usually does not dare to spend a penny. After all, this is all. It must be paid back.

In addition, the monarchs are originally some mysterious figures, and some of them have retreated to the background. It is not possible to make an appointment alone by sending a message.

"However, if it was him who was invited, it would still be within my capabilities. Although Maris Billy hardly ever returns to the Clock Tower, I happened to know someone who could contact him, so I happened to make an appointment with him. Be prepared to ask for details in this regard, he should be here soon."

"Oh?" Roland raised his eyebrows, "Even as a monarch, you can't deliver news to the celestial subject monarch in real time. How can anyone else have this privilege?"

"That Lord Animusfia is such a person. Because he is too devoted to his ideals, he is not interested in anything political at all, and is even a little repulsive. He does not want to get involved in his own plans, so unless he is For collaborators recognized by him, even if other monarchs want to contact him, they can only use official letterheads and wait until he goes to check once a month before receiving a reply."

Regarding this question, Weber smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Even in the Clock Tower, it is rare to see a magician like him who is a research maniac."

This statement made Roland's expression even more subtle.

"So, the person who can contact Maris Billy is also a research geek."

"Now, it can't be wrong... But when it comes to talented people, this kind of title is more like a compliment. He is different from me, but he is a child prodigy who reached the altar at the age of twenty. Although he has always kept himself in the Archeology Department, which has led to his reputation being obscured, in my opinion, within the system of the Archeology Department, his research is quite important."

Even knowing Roland's true identity, he still gave such a high evaluation, which shows how much he appreciates that person.

This kind of performance made Roland couldn't help but become interested. Just as he was about to speak, his eyes suddenly froze and he looked at the door behind him that was not closed.

This performance made Weber realize something, but before he could turn his head, suddenly, a deep and deep voice came from behind.

"Being praised by El-Melloi II really makes me, a person who has accomplished nothing, feel ashamed."

A strange figure slowly walked into Weber's office. Contrary to the impression given by the calm voice, the person appeared to be quite young.

He was wearing something unusual, but it matched his dark green coat, black trousers and boots, as well as a tall hat that matched the color of his clothes. His hair was neatly combed, making him look like he was from the last century. Like an aristocrat, it gives people an impression of rigor and self-discipline.

"Let me introduce you," Weber stood up. "This is the prodigy I just mentioned."

"Second, please don't make fun of me." The strange young man looked helplessly at Weber, and then showed a gentle smile to Roland, "Hello, this is the first time we meet, I am Leif Lenore Floros. .”

Although he had vague speculations in his mind before, Roland was still stunned for a moment when he saw the once thunderous name turn into a real existence in front of his eyes.

This is not just because of the other party's name. Although the Demon God Pillar family is rare, it is not so high that it is impossible to find the second one. The Maqili family, the predecessor of the Matou family, also has the blood of the Demon God Pillar. Even if If the time is right, Matou Zouken, who has not yet completely turned black, has the possibility of becoming the Demon God Pillar.

But even among the many Demonic Pillar families, Leif Lenore Floweros is quite special.

After all, ever since the famous Crowned Bomber officially became the Demon God Pillar, the world has gradually begun to deviate from the norm and begin to move towards the grand goal of saving humanity forever.

But it was completely different from what Roland expected. This young man, who was born in the Department of Archeology and didn't know whether his symptoms of split personality had been cured, was quite straightforward and cheerful.

After hearing Weber's intention, he pondered for a while, and then readily agreed to help contact Maris Billy. Even when faced with such a private matter as why he wanted to enter Chaldea, he didn't hide much.

"It's just for the title designation."

Leif explained in a very calm tone that the title designation is the highest theoretical level and the true pinnacle in the mystical sense. After the establishment of any magic family, it will leave an eternal mission and task. With this engraved in the blood, each subsequent generation of family members, although their methods and personalities may be different, will subconsciously, actively or unconsciously move forward with this mission.

"In order for the world that existed in the past and theorems to be reproduced in the modern era, and for magic to flourish in the present, joining Chaldea is the most suitable way for me to complete them."

Looking at Roland and Weber who were suddenly silent, Leif, who thought they didn't understand, said softly.

"Because I am a magician with the attribute of imaginary numbers. I can dive in the imaginary space where there is no concept of time, and thus come into contact with the possibilities of the future and the past. Therefore, it is inevitable that I will have this kind of curiosity. The decline of magic began with the end of the Age of Gods. Irreversible changes, as we all know, the end of the age of the gods was marked by King Arthur's death by returning the sword in the lake."

When the story came to this point, Leif's face showed genuine joy unconsciously.

"So, if we in modern times create a unique history in which the Holy Sword has not been returned, can we continue the mysterious prosperity? Such changes may bring new changes to the present. Maybe."

"Even with Chaldea's means, it's already amazing to be able to observe the future for nearly a hundred years. To interfere with the past or something like that, I'm afraid more powerful force is needed."

Weber frowned, murmured to himself, and brought up the key to this.

"It's exactly what you said, II." After Weber pointed out his shortcomings, Leif's face darkened at first, but he quickly cheered up. "Even if I devote my whole life to this goal, it is not the same as my dream." The distance may be crawling, but as long as we are still moving forward, what I have paid for this future today will not be meaningless."

“As long as that remains, it’s enough to continue to support my enthusiasm.”

Roland somewhat understands why Leif is now favored by Maris Billy, Weber and others. He is talented but not ostentatious, ambitious but still down-to-earth, diligent and positive. It is really difficult for people to dislike him. .

And I didn't smell any stench on his body. Hasn't he officially become the Demon God Pillar yet?

That's right, Chaldea has not officially started construction yet. Although the world's trend is gradually approaching, it is still a little time away from the key node... In other words, if you do some interference now, there will probably be fun in the future. Woolen cloth……

While Roland was deep in thought, Leif's apologetic voice interrupted him.

"Sorry, I'm always like this. I tend to complain when it comes to research."

As if he noticed that he seemed to be neglecting Roland, Leif also turned his head and looked at Roland.

"It doesn't matter," Roland shook his head gently, indicating that he didn't care, and extended his hand to Leif in a friendly manner. “I also learned a lot from today’s conversation.”

"Really, that's a real honor for me."

Leif stood up, took the hand handed over by Roland, and shook it politely. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he took a step back slightly and took off his hat towards Weber and Roland.

"Well, since today is a temporary break, I still have scheduled research to do, so I will take my leave now. Ah... don't worry, I will convey the news of the meeting to Lord Animfia as soon as possible. of."

"How about taking a few days off occasionally? Isn't Chaldea on the right track? You're working too hard."

Looking at Leif who was more dedicated than himself, Weber also sighed.

"Well... that does make sense, but maybe it's because of my personality. I hate wasting time, let alone wasting it on meaningless things. So, I'll go back first and set the specific meeting time later. , I will directly summon you, II."

After bowing again, the future Mr. Demonic Pillar turned around and left Weber's office without any hesitation.

After his back completely disappeared from the entrance, Weber turned to look at Roland.

"It went smoothly as expected. How about it? As I said, this guy is a pretty good person...eh?"

"What's wrong?"

Roland also turned his head, blinked, and said with a smile as if he didn't hear Weber's words.

At this moment, in his eyes, two tigers, one black and one white, intertwined, had occupied the center of the pupils, shining with an obscure light.

"No... nothing."

Seeing the light of the talisman, Weber's body shivered unnaturally. He thought of Angra Mainyu, who was rubbed at will by Roland like plasticine under these strange powers ten years ago. He lowered his head deeply. Don't even dare to say a single unnecessary word.

"But what are you going to do if you see Maris Billy tomorrow?"

"Of course, let him give up the Holy Grail War and hand over his master's authority to me."

"This..." Weber swallowed and said cautiously: "I'm afraid he won't agree. It would be more convenient to control him directly and sign a contract to let him give up these things, or simply work for you."

Weber was not afraid that he would be implicated, but that Roland's identity would be exposed.

Although it is not a trivial matter for the ruler of the Celestial Division to die on the way to the Holy Grail War, at most it would only cause a tremor in the clock tower like Kenneth did, and then it would gradually subside.

But it would be terrible if he left some back-up plan and exposed Roland's human and evil identity.

With the style of the Clock Tower that Weber is familiar with, he will not let go of such a precious existence, but he cannot accept the outcome of their suicide attempt leading to the destruction of the world.

"What image do I have in your mind?"

Roland felt inexplicably amused, "Since he is not a non-violent and non-cooperative guy, there is no need to use such extreme means. Have you forgotten the reason you used to ask Maris Billy out just now?"

"Invest in Chaldea?"

Roland nodded, with a strange light shining in his eyes, and said softly.

"On the eve of the Holy Grail War, he did not make preparations before the war, but he was invited out for this reason. It means that he is very short of money now... In this case, I will give him a reason that he cannot refuse."
